19:13 <@tove> hm, i added the dev-perl masks because it's the only way to |
| 17 |
warn users who still have the package |
| 18 |
installed. portage ignores installed but unavailable packages |
| 19 |
19:18 <@ssuominen> tove: that's fine, no hurry to remove them |

In Jul 2010 the mask was removed: |

I wonder, does scarabeus know what he is doing? Is half a year long |
| 28 |
enough? Shouldn't I mask it at all? Why do I add my name to the mask if |
| 29 |
i am not even asked before my masks are removed? |

In April i joined #g-portage to ask for a warning if non-available |
| 33 |
packages are installed. I didn't file a bug and i don't know if |
| 34 |
anything was actually changed in portage. |
